I've done my fair share of traveling in my life thanks to my parents, me saving up my money to travel and my constant travel bug. Anyone who knows me personally knows that I cannot go on a vacation without planning every day. It's not an annoying task I have to do, it's something that I really and truly enjoy. I'm no stranger to notebooks full of addresses, opening hours and very detailed daily plans. I like to be efficient and make the most of every day when traveling. I still need to explore so much, but I'm really grateful that I have visited so many places at such a young age.
I love a cozy afternoon, a cup of hot coffee, comfy knitwear and my computer. It's so much fun to go through lists of places you need to see in New York, London, Pittsburgh or Boston.
As you might have assumed I am a planner. I plan what I pack, where I go and when I go. So I will often makes to do lists, packing list etc etc. Here are some of my absolute travel essentials that make me feel comfortable when I'm on the road.
Agenda - Duh! Couldn't live without my agenda. I love this one by Kate Spade... actually so sad that the year is going by so fast and I will have to throw it out.
Comfy Sweater - I admire people that travel in dresses and heels... how? I'm more of a loose Sweatshirt kind of girl. This one by Peek & Cloppenburg gives me serious Brandy Melville vibes
Big hat - Cause nobody got time for good hair on a plane ride.
Shades - I'm usually not wearing makeup when traveling so these really help hiding dark circles and non-existing eyebrows. These are amazing and rose gold.. need I say more?
Phone & Passport - No explanation necessary..it's kind of hard without them.
Passport case - I really love carrying one. This cute one is by &other stories and it's a life saver. It also carries the annoying baggage claim stickers and can be closed securely with a press button.
Camera - Even though I use my phone for many of my pictures nothing really beats a good camera. There is a huge difference especially when you have a bomb lens. This one is the Olympus Pen.
Make Up - I need to carry makeup with me whenever I travel... it's my comfort blanket not gonna lie. Here are some of my absolute essentials:
